I'm glad he was elected too, but I don't think he has any chance of cleaning up Bush's mess- it'll take YEARS to do that

my friend said he voted for Obama, but he was still unsure if he made the right decision. at least he made the right one.

Yeah, good point. Me too...

That 7% must be afraid FOR him and his safety, not afraid OF him.

I can't make sense of the fact that 7% of Obama supporters say the election results make them "afraid". That question must have been worded more broadly...
